Week 3 AHL Goalie Power Rankings

My current thought process is to quantify via the below

4.5 Games Per Week (ON Average) = Main

Between 2.5 Games Per Week & 4.5 Games = Secondary

Below 2.4 Games Per Week = Excluding


The challenge with not excluding those who play less than 2.4 games per week on average is that they either have been called up to the N, sent down to the C, or have ECU'ed. For the purpose of keeping the data clean, there stats will remain in the data set, just not including the individuals for direct comparison.

 

How is this? Thinking about doing a quarterly team update, and weekly goal power rankings. Example.

# 31 – Laval Rockets | 4-23-0 | Eastern North

Surprisingly enough, Laval is not the league leader in goals against, *spoiler*, that belongs to Utica, however the Rockets are 30th in the league in that aforementioned stat. One might infer that being last in the league in wins might mean you have weak goaltending & defense, however that may not be the biggest issue for Laval. When you provide your net-minder with on average 1.3 goals of support, you’re asking for perfection from questionably the most difficult position…in a video game…that does a wonderful job at scoring goals against you all on its own. Let’s break it down statistically, shall we?

Laval, from all categories outlined below, is below average in both the division and across the league. In the Eastern North, their goalies rank 3rd for most shots received and 8th overall in the AHL. When you receive a lot of shots, and your ability to make saves as a team is questionable, your going to give up a lot of goals.





Bottom line, Laval appears to not be able to buy a goal, let alone save one from being scored, as a result, they are at #31.

 

show the backups love!

 

Noah, your gonna have to play more than 3 games to show up, my friend.

 

Like the new suggested format. I would try and keep writeups shorter since that's a lot of writing for you! Only other piece I think would be to have a +/- for where they ranked last time and if significant, a small blurb explaining it.
